Leave granted.
These appeals are directed against an order passed by the Division
Bench of the Calcutta High Court on 9th June, 2008 in CRA. No.235 of 1994, canceling
the bail granted to the appellants during the pendency of the appeal. The only ground
on which the bail was cancelled is that on 9th June, 2008, the appellants went
unrepresented. No other ground has been given for cancelling the bail.
In our view, this order of the Division Bench of the High Court cannot be
sustained since on the date in question, the names of the learned counsel representing
the appellants had not been indicated in the cause list. Furthermore, there is also no
reason given for cancellation of the bail. Accordingly, the said order is set aside, the
order granting bail to the appellants on 26th September, 1994,
is restored.
The appeals are disposed of.
